limiting Presidential Terms
+*' The House of Representatives has broken the ice by proposing to limit the Presidency to two terms of four years
_eacji7That suggestion has been approved by the lower House,
and sent to the Senate.
> . *,- . ..
7 From the time of George Washington until Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the two term limit was accepted in principle.
jSfr. Roosevelt smashed the precedent. Strangely 'enough
many outstanding editors have opposed the proposed Consti-
Ijatipnal Amendment that would prevent any person from
ser^ng more than eight years in the White House. Anyway,
no one eattbe sure that the Senate will give a two thirds ma-
3<M-ity. okay to the, proposal. If such a thing happens it is a
&a£e"guess that stfch an amendment will be approved by the
#oteT!s;in the State?. So, there we are with the big "if" standing right..out before us, with no certainty as to what the
Seriate wiil do about this major issue.
The Red Cross Appeal
'- The' American Red Cross appeals each year for funds to
carry on its noble work. Practically all its funds come in answer to the annual fund campaign. It provides for such a vast
varjetx .of needs, it relieves such a tremendous amount of
sup£$ng,atfoffei:s such comfort and help to'servicemen, vet-
erito^ahd.tKfeir families, that the 1947 appeal should be
gree^ed.with the utmost generosity.
■jp-n-eriof the "greatest accomplishments of the Red Cross is
the^j^rnjsMn-g:^;club and recreation service for United Sta-
te^lfa&pps pbfx>a4- The War Department considers these serv-
iee&^fghiy f skential to ]the morale and welfare of "the men on
-' t'0i#^7^iir.Tl^(i456>yk -S£e~~fatfrft6m holrie, they "need this
WQrK.suid -thefe' should be plenty of money to carry it on.
<0ne6f the splendid features of the Red Cross work is
fbu^d. in the services of its various volunteer groups in Vet-
^eraijfs:,'Administration hospitals. The Red Cross workers as-
sistjh the recreation program, and they provide instruction
in aiftsJaiiid, crafts and academic subjects. They give these
m-e^iwho axe trying so hard to get back to normal life a won-
derfuj amount of practical help and encouragement.
Nursing services care for sick and injured in disasters.
Public, health nursing services are carried on where these
are^ee'ded. Educational programs are a splendid, feature aim-
ed^t.the conservation of human life, through first aid training,, water sqrfety, and accident prevention. Red Cross services
in.ine .relief of disasters are a magnificent achievement in
meeting the: terrible needs that so frequently develop when
thege great calamities produce acute human suffering. Nutrition services offered where these are needed contribute
wonderfully to public intelligence on this extremely vital
matter."'
This magnificent organization touches life at many points
no£ mentioned: above. It accomplishes grand results for relief of trouble and suffering, and in meeting the needs of the
people. - ..
The Sanctity of the Individual
A nation as-well sas- ah* individual is known by what it be-
~ lieves. The beliefs of totalitarian regimes are clear to. all.
Ml They believe ih-the sanctity and supremacy of the state and
the complete subsurvieiifce of the individual. He is but a pawn.
His work, his religion/ his home, his children are directly under the control of hi?'master the state, and its self appointed
rulers. He may read, listen to and say only what they wish.
Even his beliefs are regulated and regimented.
The direct antithesis of this are the beliefs of a democracy, based as thfey ^re upon the sanctity of the individual.
The state is but the'composite convictions of its citizens. He
is no pawn—but a free man, considered capable and intelligent enough to'govern himself with due regard to the rights
of others: His/laws are the traffic rules determined upon by
himself and his fellows as the most convenient way to give
freedom to all by; cooperation for the common good.
He may work where and when and how he will—provided
that work ..harms no one nor so affects him that he becomes

County.
During its 14 years'of service to
the crippled and handicapped the
Rotary Club lias aided many persons in Stark County.
In accepting- the chairmanship
Mr. Stull said, "The" purchase of
Easter Seals will -help the Rotary
club to meet the needs of the many
handicapped persons' in' oiir community. The Rotary Club seeks to
supplement rather than duplicate
the services of other public and
private agencies for the handicapped."
The Easter Seal is the symbol
of new life and hope for the handicapped. Organized 27 .years ago,
the Ohio Society has since that
time carried on. a "continuous program of aid to the crippled. Last
year, the regular program, was expanded to include projects to aid
persons afflicted with-cerebral palsy, and epilepsy. Since that time,
consulation clinics' on both "conditions, with internationally known
specialists in attendance, have been
held in various conditions of the
state. The work is financed entirely by voluntary- contributions.

February 1947 One of the Driest
On Record Has Snow Nearly Every Day
Every day but six during the month of February, North
Canton received a daily dose of snow. It was a month of continuous though not excessive cold. The lowest temperature
was 1 below on February 5 and the highest was 51 degrees on
February 14, as registered on the thermometer at North
Canton's weather bureau at the
home of D. O. Corner's. There were
16 days on which the mercury remained below the freezing mark
all day.
• It was also one - of the driest
February's on record with la total
precipitation of .55 degrees, as
compared with the normal of 2.96
degrees. .All of this came in the
form*of snow with* the exception
of "a light freezing shovyer on February 4 which quickly turned into
snow as the thermometer dipped
in a new cold wave.
There was enough snow to register on 22 days. Adding the total
day by day fall brings a total of
5Y2 inches, -but (winds packed the
snow and blew it away so that it
seldom -became deep and caused
very little inconvenience.
Some of the rural schools were
closed when the township roads became blocked by drifts but taffic
was. maintained on all important
routes, and all schools were opened
with 24 hours.
The month had more winds than
•usual, though they were not sufficient to cause damage, but when
accompained by low temperatures
they made going hard for pedestrians.
Some of-the.worst storms by
passed Stark County as they have
done in the past. The mean monthly
temperature was 21.46 degrees
compared to the normal of 28.1 degrees. There were two clear days,
five partly clQudy and 21 cloudy
days during the month.

bureau of motor vehicles announced.
Sale of the new license tags
will start March 10, and the plates
may be used'immediately' by the
purchasers. In previous years tags
went on sale March 1 for use after March 10, but a shortage of
steel caused the 10-day delay this
year, Fogo stated.
A heavy demand for 1946 plates
during the last half of the year
used up metal'intended for manufacture of the initial Stock of-1947
tags. When additional steel was
obtained jabout a month ago, the
work day at Ohio penitentiary's
license plate shop was increased
to open the sale before March 10,

The Sanctity of the Individual
A nation as-well sas- ah* individual is known by what it be-
~ lieves. The beliefs of totalitarian regimes are clear to. all.
Ml They believe ih-the sanctity and supremacy of the state and
the complete subsurvieiifce of the individual. He is but a pawn.
His work, his religion/ his home, his children are directly under the control of hi?'master the state, and its self appointed
rulers. He may read, listen to and say only what they wish.
Even his beliefs are regulated and regimented.
The direct antithesis of this are the beliefs of a democracy, based as thfey ^re upon the sanctity of the individual.
The state is but the'composite convictions of its citizens. He
is no pawn—but a free man, considered capable and intelligent enough to'govern himself with due regard to the rights
of others: His/laws are the traffic rules determined upon by
himself and his fellows as the most convenient way to give
freedom to all by; cooperation for the common good.
He may work where and when and how he will—provided
that work ..harms no one nor so affects him that he becomes

County.
During its 14 years'of service to
the crippled and handicapped the
Rotary Club lias aided many persons in Stark County.
In accepting- the chairmanship
Mr. Stull said, "The" purchase of
Easter Seals will -help the Rotary
club to meet the needs of the many

the services of other public and
private agencies for the handicapped."

of new life and hope for the handicapped. Organized 27 .years ago,
the Ohio Society has since that
time carried on. a "continuous program of aid to the crippled. Last
year, the regular program, was expanded to include projects to aid
persons afflicted with-cerebral palsy, and epilepsy. Since that time,
consulation clinics' on both "conditions, with internationally known
specialists in attendance, have been
held in various conditions of the
